Kraft Tool Carbon Steel Pool Trowel CF436 12 by 3 and 1 by 2 Inch Short Shank Camel Back Wood Handle (Plaster Cement Concrete Finishing Tool)

Kraft Tool CF436 12-Inch x 3-1/2-Inch Carbon Steel Pool Trowel with Short Shank and Camel Back Wood Handle

The Kraft Tool CF436 12-Inch x 3-Inch Pool Trowel is an industrial plastering and concrete finishing tool constructed with a 0.026-inch thick flexible carbon steel blade to smooth curved gunite and shotcrete pools. Designed with rounded end geometry to eliminate drag lines, this concrete trowel incorporates a 4-3/8-inch short cast aluminum shank and a camel back hardwood handle to increase blade flex when working tight concave radiuses and swimming pool gutters.

Best Used For:

• Swimming Pool & Gutters Plastering: Finishing plaster, marcite, and quartz coatings over curved gunite and shotcrete pool basins without gouging.
• Concave & Radius Concrete Finishing: Troweling curved cement transitions, radiused steps, and radius retaining walls where rigid flat trowels leave ridges.
• Gunite & Shotcrete Smoothing: Applying firm, flexed pressure over sprayed concrete surfaces to achieve a dense, glass-smooth finish.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Rounded Blade End Geometry: Curved end profile glides over concave pool contours without digging in or leaving unwanted drag marks.
• 4-3/8-Inch Short Shank Mounting: Compact aluminum shank increases blade flex to easily conform to tight radiuses and curved pool walls.
• Cross-Ground Carbon Steel Blade: High-tensile 0.026-inch thick carbon steel provides immediate flexibility and a factory pre-broken-in feel.
• Cast Aluminum Mounting Spine: Heavy-duty, lightweight aluminum mounting reduces wrist strain while supporting the length of the blade.
• Stainless Steel Compression Rivets: Flush-mounted rivets secure the blade to the spine to prevent separation under continuous pressure.
• Camel Back Hardwood Handle: Ergonomically contoured wood handle fits the palm naturally to minimize fatigue during long finishing passes.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Use a short shank pool trowel when working tight radius transitions between pool walls and floors to maximize blade bowing without stressing the handle.
